Our first season finale is up on YouTube. It’s an interview with someone who grew up in the Science of Identity Foundation youtu.be/3WAwOGNQf7Q?...

Thought this would be a good time to reshare this 2018 episode from Generation Cult’s @generationcult.bsky.social Season 1 about someone raised in the Science of Identity Foundation. This is what Tulsi Gabbard is in. It’s not bullshit. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

New S. 4 episode coming soon but, for now, here’s our 2023 season finale from S. 3, just posted on YouTube. Listen to this fascinating conversation with Tamara about coercion, polygamy and underage marriage youtu.be/8_aoUoaQEc8?...

Our newest Season 4 episode just released today and we’re addressing the topic of #familyestrangement. This is Lynn's story of leaving the Mormon Church, to the disappointment of her high-profile family, and what it was like to try to reconnect directory.libsyn.com/episode/inde...

The latest episode we’ve released is about Jesse and the “perfect church” he grew up in. Things were almost ideal until the immortal leader died. Too bad that trying to leave led to a literal prison sentence. New episode tomorrow podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

In Season 4’s ep. 6, we discuss Christian Science. Hilary grew up as a radical reliant Christian Scientist, which meant her family avoided medical intervention in favor of prayer to try to cure ailments. She lived to talk about it, but others weren't so lucky. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

When Susan was 13, her stepdad brought her into what was then known as the Divine Light Mission, an organization led by Prem Rawat. This is her story, and a bit of Don’s, a former high-ranking official of the group (which changed its name many times) podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

In S. 4, ep. 4 of @generationcult.bsky.social podcast we spoke w/ @philipdeslippe.bsky.social & Stacie Stukin about reparations for 2nd gen members abused through 3HO/Kundalini yoga community, which is addressed briefly in new Max doc Breath of Fire podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...

Have you watched the docuseries Breath of Fire on Max? It covers Guru Jagat, who gained a following through Kundalini yoga/Yogi Bhajan/3HO, which we’ve discussed on the podcast — although our focus has been the kids at the boarding schools in India www.hbo.com/breath-of-fire

The latest episode of the podcast is out now for Patreon subscribers but it'll be available to the public on Tuesday. Join us for a chat with a relative of Joseph Smith, founder of Mormonism, to discuss the relevant topic of family estrangement. www.patreon.com/posts/estran...

Here’s another one from Season 4. The church Amanda grew up in was started by a man known for his ejection from the KKK for being too militant. Yeah, you read that right. All the trigger warnings. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/g...
